Throughout our 25-year history, Cerddorion has been honored to collaborate with a remarkable range of talented artistic partners, from Macedonian folk musicians to youth choirs to dance companies. For our newest collaboration, we are proud to present the New York premiere of "The Book of Rounds: 21 Songs of Grace." Created by lyricist Julie Flanders and composer Emil Adler (founders of the acclaimed band and recording artist October Project) and arranged by Keiji Ishiguri, each round is a fugue of positive messages. The cyclical structure of the musical round lifts the words beyond their ordinary meanings into an enveloping and transformative experience for singer and listener alike. Joining us in this collaborative venture are two youth ensembles from the Kaufman Music Center's Special Music School: Vox Nova Boys Choir and 5th Grade Choir (Emily John, Director) and the Queens College Vocal Ensemble 90 singers in all. Marina Belica of October Project will join as a featured soloist.
